Bernie's Plans Are Good For The People

Most people have unfavorable opinion of the leading presidential candidates. They are all tied to big money, except for Bernie Sanders, who has an incredible number of small donors and no super PAC.

Because the middle class is sinking, Bernie plans to enhance Social Security, increase the minimum wage and make community colleges free, paid for by taxes on financial transactions and the very wealthy.

Because other countries' universal health care is much less expensive than ours, Bernie intends to make health care a right. Robert Reich argues that this would permanently improve the U.S. economy.

Bernie would create new jobs, since infrastructure is in poor condition, interest rates are low and delaying maintenance is not only more expensive, it invites tragedy.

Oliver Stone wrote that Sanders is "the only one willing, at least in the name of fiscal sanity, to cut back on our foreign interventions, bring the troops home, and with these trillions of dollars no longer wasted on malice, try to protect the 'homeland' by actually rebuilding it and putting money into its people, schools and infrastructure."

Bernie appears to be the only candidate to recognize that overpopulation, greenhouse gas emissions and pollution are killing nature.
